During our lifetime we will all have many opportunities to serve those around us. How we choose to go about that will determine how we will be rewarded. There will be times that recognition for our service will be innately intertwined with the service that we render. At other times we will have chances to serve that would otherwise go unnoticed were it not for any public declaration of the act. Both hold great value. The stories told of Jesus Christ and his service are good because we can learn from them.
However it is clear from the record of John that Jesus has many untold stories of service. John writes, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen". It is not surprising that Jesus' life would be this way. He did so much good, some that perhaps even his apostles knew nothing of. How many people have helped us in our lives that to us remain nameless? There has to be many. To God however, each act of kindness is recorded and he loves to bless his children. So find ways to serve today.
“But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.”
